hi everyone, i messed up my phone, so i had to wipe and reflash the U.S. 2.2 leak 3.4.2 something, and when i try to root it with superoneclick, it just says waiting for device, usb debugging is on, usb connecion is set to portal. any tips?
I rooted mine today. On xda search defy root tutorial. It worked great for me.

Try to use this one here. It is the same one used to root the 3.6.360 update. Takes a few minutes to work so be patient. Might be more than a few cycles through it too. But it worked for me with the 3.6.360 update and for Froyo too.

Get the superoneclick files, but do it without superonclick.
Follow these steps, but change names accordingly.

z4root don't work on firmware 2.51.0 or later. It won't hurt trying though.

Simple root!
Easiest way to root is to download an app called Z4root.
Its a one click root and best of all with another click you can "unroot" the device. Not compatible with all devices so it would pay to check the apps website but it works with motorola defy

For me z4root is working only for the first time,after that,after an unroot it does not running but is run the oneclickroot

On the computer must be installed NET.Framework, JDK, Android SDK, thus on the phone in USB Connection select Motorola Phone Portal, enable USB Debugging(settings/ application/ development) in settings. Old version do not work on froyo. After root it must be rebooting a phone. If you can not root, reboot your phone and computer and try again. If the proccess stop on "waiting for device", then until plug in the phone unselect USB Debugging, when you see "waiting for device", Select USB Debugging.
Last version of Superoneclick - is the best solution for rooting our Device, with any FW version. Try to use both exploits (sounds something like: "psneuter" and "reageistcach") - you can chose one of it in the up-right corner of Superoneclick window
Try to reboot your phone,keep it on the debug mode and then root it(SuperOneClick2.1 is recommended!).By the way, have you installed the drivers correctly?
update your SuperOneClick to 1.7
1.8 doesnt work for me

this works for me can't promise that it would work for anyone else....but if you use z4root and get temporary root you can then use rom manager to fully root your phone which will last after reboot and everything....
z4root gives you temporary root and Rom manager lets you flash a custom recovery/roms.
I don't see how a combination of the two would or could give you a NAND Unlock.

He is correct... s-off / nand unlock is necessary for full root.. the evo is easy to root anyways....

all i know is that i have done it twice and everything works including backing up or restoring
Thanks for this. I've had evo since launch, and it was easy to root 2.1, but am terrified if i need a freeplacement.
I'm sure ill try this first.

Typically you don't have to worry about it for a freeplacement, If you root it all you have to do is flash a stock RUU and everything will go back to orignial. I had to take my wifes for repaired yesterday due to the flash quit working. I just installed a stock RUU from sprint. Had it fixed, went home re-rooted and restored with nandroid and you would never know.
Just use unrevoked. Its super easy to fully root your phone.

worked for me on a friends htc hero. The download I used though gave my computer a virus and was caught by windows defender after the fact so be carefull were you download it from.
but the thing you will be missing is the ability to do a NANDbackup! Among other things that full root gives you.

Guys I am trying to re root my device using the revoked method, however I am having a great deal of issues with it. I have the drivers installed when it the HBOOT it can see its using the android 1.0 driver... perfect. Reboot and then nothing it just wont detect my phone... I have USB debbuging on but nothing.
I have read so many threads... I just cant see what I am doing wrong... While I am rooted I am really just trying to reflash my phone... if anyone has any handy tips I am all ears.
Erm.... Reflash using unrevoked .... Fail.
Unrevoked is a rooting program and once your rooted you can't use it on a rooted rom. You need an unrooted rom.
What are you trying to do?

Just install the latest OTA- Update for your Phone. Root should be removed then.

Get Recovery manager from the market and use it to install ClockworkMod.
You can then boot to recovery and use ClockworkMod to flash the rom of your choice
welll lot of answers...
did you only check if the command adb devices gives you a reply ???
it should be otherwise would let heard that there is some other issue by the way.
I have it all hooked up correctly, I've rooted five different phones at this point, it just doesn't work. Superoneclick says the phone gets root but root checker and titanium says its not.
Any ideas?

do with the root application called Gingerbreak
Gingerbreak works for Gingerbread only I think. Wipe cache partition and try again.
Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk
My Froyo Defy was rooting with Gingerbreak.. work perfect
just reboot your phone after rooting, install busybox with busybox installer from market and SU Update Fixer just to be sure and check if there is superuser in app drawer.
When I rooted my Defy after the 2.2 OTA update using SuperOneClick, it put Busybox somewhere where Titanium Backup didn't see it but everything else could. I ran the Busybox installer and now Titanium Backup is happy.
Alrighty, thanks for the advice guys. Ill try again soon and update this if I can get it working or not.

Hmm. Which version of SuperOneClick you use? Someones says that the latest (2.1.1) does not work on defy always. I used 1.9.5 and it works with no problems.
I hope I could help ya

Have you flashed your phone with your version froyo sbf file, through rsdlite?
After flashing sbf, try and use super one click (1.7 or 1.9.5).
Maker sure you go into settings and check enable USB debugging, in /settings/applications/development/...
Those are the three main thinks top get root working...
Although I have never used ginger break on my defy, I have used it on other phones with froyo, and it works great...
Hope that helps
the superoneclick 1.9.5 is not work on me.
so I suggest you to try 1.7 of it first.

Anyway, I prefer manual console rooting, even it makes me nerves.

z4root worked first time on my Defy. It's much less hassle than SuperOneClick - I certainly couldn't be bothered to faff about trying different versions to find one that's compatible.

I can't even get my USB to allow me in now, even with USB Debugging ON??
The first time I rooted I had a similar problem. Even after flashing super-user Titanium would tell me I wasn't rooted.
In the end downloading a different super user version fixed the problem.
Not sure what to suggest for your usb problem though... Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Try getting to dload mode. Flash stock. Retry root maybe

To fix your problem with not getting into your phone you'll follow these directions
http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-ga...-to-ics-stock-on-t-mobile-galaxy-s2-sgh-t989/
Then after you do this you will have to put ics back on your phone or just flash a rom that is 4.0.3
This is what you should download download the file and use this superuser I had a problem rooting to.

The root was finally completed in recovery but after rebooting and going into ES Explorer like normal in Settings to set (Root) user, it says not accessable also using the Superuser app from Google Play it says (root failed) but in recovery it said (root achieved and enjoy) so yeah makes no sense also should I just flash the theme I want in and see if that works out (Juggernaut 5.0)?
This is my first post and i basically joined to share what i found. By using Snappea and Kingo App i was able to root my Centura. By using snappea to get the drivers and Kingo to root it was successful. I will post the links below for people to try it.
Step 1. Download and install Snappea.
Step 2. Downlod and install Kingo App.
Step 3. Connect your phone and run Snappea in order to get all the correct drivers for the phone.
Step 4. After getting all the drivers open Kingo app and follow all the intstructions until rooted. It doesn't work right away you gotta keep retrying at a certain point until kingo gets it all the way rooted. It works just takes more than one go almost like troubleshooting on windows.
I had used poot before and it was limited now i have better access and hopeully this leads to new roms. Hope this is helpful to everyone thank you.
poot works too

I did lose root access after the recent Android update (to 4.0.4) but I just ran poot again and it worked fine for me.
So you have had no issues with the root so far?

I did root it successfully but, it's more successful when you put superuser, root checker, and ministro installed first before you root with Poot it's more successful the first or second time but after rooting check with the root checker first because it activates the root and superuser. Good luck.
